Back-up

Your Headmaster or Headmistress will help you with day-to-day problems. Our representatives in Lilongwe are Heather Wallace (and Serena McVey). They are both wonderful at solving all sorts of problems and handing out TLC, when required.

Weather

Malawi has a single wet season form November to April when it is also warm and humid. May to August is dry and cool. September and October can become hot and humid in the lower areas, where average daytime temperatures are between 21 and 26 oC. In the higher areas temperatures vary between 10 and 15 oC.

Expenses

Malawi is not expensive. Backpackers can live quite well for less than £17 a day and travel by coach is cheap. Tourist spots and activities, are, however, more expensive, so it depends on how you live! There are ATMs in most large towns - certainly in Lilongwe, Zomba and Blantyre. You must have Visa debit or credit card. Mastercard is just not accepted.
